On this episode of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, which has always been a Friday podcast, Seth, Akiva, and Jorm discuss "We'll Kill U," the third installment of the "Just Two Guys" franchise. It predates Turtleneck & Chain but wasn't featured on the album, despite the appearance of turtlenecks and chains in the surprisingly fashionable video. But first, Seth talks about his love for John Malkovich (a Lonely Island fan) and some interesting news about The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and Jorm tries his hand at current events. Andy isn't here, but he didn't forget about the bee. Enjoy!

This week on The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, we’re discussing the penultimate Laser Cats, Laser Cats 6: The Musical from season 36, episode 18 featuring host and musical guest Elton John as the aptly named villain Droz. We’ve got a quaidum this week, and yes, I know this episode is late, and yes, I know last week’s was late, and yes, we know most episodes are late! Some of you send us very mean emails about episodes being late, and I think you should calm down and enjoy the sweet sounds of the shock jocks whenever we can manage to get them together and get these episodes out! And speaking of shock jocks, we’ve found the infamous radio drops! In addition to discussing the short, the guys are talking about Judd Apatow’s new documentary on Norm Macdonald, East of Eden, and who Seth had on Late Night this week. Speaking of Seth, it’s the return of Seth’s Corner with Knights of the Realm (and how Elton John messed up his line), and the very first Get in the Cage with Andy as Nicolas Cage and featuring Jake Gyllenhaal. Enjoy the episode and sorry I yelled at you earlier. Thanks!

On this episode of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast we’re down an Alvin (Andy) and we’re branching out in format. For those of you who hate comments, sorry to say but Dave the dog walker is back to read some. This week they’re discussing a few sketches (and a runner!) from comedy legend Matt Berry, specifically his work on Snuff Box and Toast of London. But before that, they’re discussing SNL hosts for Season 52, the movie "Obsession" and whether or not it's okay to spoil it at this point, as well as some of their other favorite British comedy moments. It’s a loose episode even with Seth here to wrangle. Enjoy!

On this episode of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, it's a Threeadore. Seth is out and the three chipmunks are causing mischief. Let’s not talk about how they’re three Alvins but when they’re together it's a “Threeadore” because it doesn’t make sense and that’s cool. Today they are discussing “After Party” from Turtleneck & Chain, their 2011 album. But before that they’re playing enough Santigold music to get us a copyright strike. Let’s see if you can even listen to this episode! If you can, Santigold herself calls in with a fun story. Also, don’t call us. We have no t-shirts. There isn’t much else to say about this one because it’s just a lot of gold....enjoy!

On this episode of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, the guys try to figure out who made Zach Looks for a New Assistant (it was John Solomon) and why it has a Digital Short bumper on it even though none of them worked on it (no clue). So they’re just going to sit back and enjoy it... eventually. But first, they will talk about many things, including more 90s movies like the hit comedy of the decade starring future MacGruber villain Billy Zane, Silence of the Hams; Rachel Dratch’s fail in the crossword (it’s Church Chat, not Church Lady); the classic SNL sketch Colon Blow (written by the great Al Franken); and the parade of unused impressions in the sketch The Original Kings of Catchphrase Comedy Tour, in which we learn that Andy’s character was an unused audition bit. Oh, and I totally forgot to mention that this is a “versus” episode. Andy is here for the first half and Jorm for the second. Who does a better job? You decide!
